Toya Wright is opening a new chapter. Literally. She’s finally sharing her life story through a new book In My Own Words. The memoir chronicles her life of equal parts fortune and misfortune while surviving fame, love, and tremendous loss.

In My Own Words is Toya’s third book, but her most personal. “I get very raw and you get to see TOYA, not Toya Wright. It’s the stripped down, naked truth of my life and my REAL reality – not what you see on television.”

Kandi Burruss is going all out to celebrate her 40th birthday– and she wasn’t alone! Kandi and several of her reality TV friends with May/June birthdays took a big trip to the Bahamas, bringing along spouses, kids, and personal assistants!

Kandi Burruss celebrated her 40th birthday with a party full of her besties this week. Unfortunately, Kandi’s birthday week also fell in the middle of some other momentous occasions – 1: The birthday of Ayden Nida; 2: the Bravo Upfronts, which meant several of Kandi’s fellow Real Housewives Of Atlanta stars were unable to attend.

Kandi didn’t seem to mind sharing her birthday. She was happy to celebrate with her ride or dies who threw her a surprise birthday dinner and accept the copious social media shout-outs she got from friends and frienemies alike.

Kandi’s consolation prize also included Sheree Whitfield in attendance at her party – and a little bit of She By SheBroke makes everything better, right?! (I seriously LOVE Sheree!).

The Don’t Be Tardy star gushed that she put her “heart and soul” into the development of her products, the genius of which started when Kim began fabricating her own skincare at home, which includes a signature Kim scent. Wait – this from the woman who ordered Thanksgiving dinner from Neiman Marcus and can’t even make a boxed cake? She was mixing skincare formulas? Genius comes in many forms…
